Cuffed pants or the danger of not wearing gear
«
on:
May 28, 2007, 06:35:37 PM »
So, today I'm going to a cookout and put on a pair of cuffed kakhi's and a pastel blue polo shirt.
Anyway I barely get started when I hang the cuff on the peg and it happens three more times before the day is over. The cuff hangs when I pick my foot up offa the ground pulling away from stops.
So, beware.

You should wear a dark blue shirt with khakis.

Shorts will solve that problem. But only if you wear sflip flops since Tennis shoe laces can get caught too!

I rolled my pants up once (new pants) and the same thing happened to me. I was making a quick left turn after a stop and almost went down.

I think county should be wearing some Jams next time. Do people still remember those? And maybe a jazzcap to finish off the ensemble.

Ride naked. There's only one thing to get caught in the bike parts and for most it's too small to be a problem.

Aren't jams like the "Rex Kwon Do" pants from Napoleon Dynamite?
Nobody wants a roundhouse to the face from those bad boys!
and are jazz caps those brimless hats?

I just remember them from the 80's and they referred to any non-short shorts.
Jazz Caps came free when you purchased several burgers at Wendy's and were of impeccable taste

A good tight roll of the pant legs should solve that problem. Also makes you cool.
